You can not delete files with javascript for security reasons.However, you can do so with the combination of server-side language such as PHP, ASP.NET, etc using Ajax. Below is sample ajax call that you can add in your code.

$(function(){
$('a.delete').click(function(){
  $.ajax({
   url:'delete.php',
   data:'id/name here',
   method:'GET',
   success:function(response){
    if (response === 'deleted')
    {
       alert('Deleted !!');
    }
   }
  });
});
});
